Feminists in Azerbaijan held a rally in front of the Government House on February 4 in response to the brutal killing of a woman in Baku. 

"Despite the dire situation facing Azerbaijan's women, the State Committee for Family, Women and Children Affairs does not take any serious action or report on the current situation," one of the protestors told Voice of America. 

The protesters held posters that read "femicide is political," which the police took away after observing the scene for a few minutes. Police also escorted women out of the site.
